recently made a visit to their shop to check out their outlaw-specced Aurelia, and it's about the coolest '50s Lancia we've ever seen. Featuring a cut roof, a perfect stance, some sweet gunmetal wheels, a custom rack and pinion steering system, a bumper delete, a custom interior, and an engine making 70 horsepower more than stock, it's everything you'd want in an Outlaw-style classic. It also helps that the Aurelia looks great and handles wonderfully, even without all the upgrades.
